Collection: Evie Hone

Irish Modernism & Sacred Abstraction

Museum-quality reproductions celebrating the work of Evie Hone (1894–1955), a pioneering Irish modernist whose bold abstraction and spiritual symbolism helped define early 20th-century Irish art. A close contemporary of Mainie Jellett, Hone played a foundational role in introducing Cubism and modernist principles to Ireland.

Cultural Narrative

Trained in Paris under André Lhote and Albert Gleizes, Evie Hone embraced Cubism before evolving a deeply personal visual language rooted in rhythm, structure, and spiritual intensity. While her early paintings reflect formal abstraction, her later work — particularly her stained glass commissions — reveal a profound engagement with light, colour, and sacred symbolism.

Hone was instrumental in establishing modernism within Irish visual culture at a time of strong academic conservatism. Her legacy bridges avant-garde experimentation and devotional art, securing her place among the most significant figures in Irish modern art history.
